SS 584 Multi Tier Cloud Security (MTCS)

What is SS 584 ?

SS 584 is the world’s first cloud security standard that covers multiple tiers of cloud security. It can be adopted by Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to meet different cloud user needs for data sensitivity and business criticality.

Tier 2: Designed for organizations that use cloud services to protect business or personal information, and run critical business data and systems in a moderate impact information system. CSPs in this tier have more stringent security controls (e.g.: Email / CRM – Customer relation management systems).

Tier 3: Designed for companies with specific needs and more stringent security requirements. Industry specific.

Why SS 584 certification?

SS 584 provides businesses with greater clarity on the levels of security offered by different Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). Certified CSPs will be able to spell out the levels of security that they can offer to their users, and businesses that rely on services from these CSPs will also be able to use the MTCS SS to understand and assess the cloud security they require.
